Perfect accessory.
By anne
from Peterborough, ON
I wanted a brooch as a closure for those cardigans with no buttons. This turned out to be the perfect piece. Add the earrings and it takes the whole upfit up a notch!

Will Not Disappoint
By AMY
from FALL RIVER
I purchased this set as a gift. The brooch is large and will not get lost on an outfit but not so heavy to draw down on clothing. The earrings accent nicely but do not take away from the brooch, which should be the main attraction. This will look great on your little black dress or sweater outfit! A great addition for my gift box and something a little different.

Many common cleaning products contain hazardous chemicals that impact our health and the environment in three ways: when they're manufactured, when they're used, and when they're thrown away. You can buy alternative, eco-safe cleansers, or you can make your own.
For Your Shopping List
If you prefer ready-made, eco-safe cleansers, shop for these. They're chlorine-free, biodegradable, and just abrasive enough to get the job done.
All Purpose Cleansers:
Bon Ami - *eco-cheap* - easily available in supermarkets
Dishwasher Detergent (phosphate and chlorine free):
Clotheswasher Detergent:
Dropps (super concentrated packets that dissolve completely in water)
All Small & Mighty (if you only have conventional cleansers to choose from, pick the product that comes in a concentrated version to reduce packaging)
Make Your Own
If you're willing to make your own, consider the recipes for Greener Cleaners below. They all have one "magic ingredient" in common that only costs you pennies to use: it's... water!
That's right. Water, plus a little baking soda, vinegar, and plant-based soap, will clean up almost every surface in your home.
Greener Cleaner Recipes
Ingredients list:
tap water sponge
Tub and sink cleaner: Baking soda, liquid soap, water
Sprinkle water on the sink and tub surfaces, followed by a generous shake of baking soda. Scrub with sponge or bristle brush. Add a little of the liquid soap to the sponge for more cleaning power. Rinse well.
Window and mirror cleaner: White vinegar, water
Toilet bowl cleaner: Baking soda, liquid soap
Sprinkle baking soda inside the bowl. Add a couple drops of liquid soap. Scrub with a toilet bowl brush. Wipe outside surfaces with a wet sponge sprinkled with baking soda. Pour ½ cup vinegar into the bowl and let it sit to remove most lime scale.
All purpose cleaner for spots on woodwork, tile and linoleum: Liquid soap
Add a few drops of liquid soap to a wet sponge; rub surface briskly.
Oven cleaner: Baking soda, water
Make a paste from baking soda and water. Apply to oven surfaces; let stand for five-ten minutes. Use a scouring pad or knife to remove loosened grime.
Drain cleaner: Baking soda, white vinegar, boiling water
Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain first, then 1/2 cup vinegar. Cover the drain until the fizzing stops, then flush with boiling water. Repeat if needed. If the clog is stubborn, use a plunger. If very stubborn, use a mechanical snake. Never pour liquid grease down a drain. Always use a drain sieve to capture food, hair, and other materials that could clog the pipe.
Copper cleaner: White vinegar, water, salt
Mix equal parts of vinegar and salt and apply to the surface with a sponge. Rinse thoroughly with water, then dry.
Silver polish: Salt, soda, aluminum foil/toothpaste
To remove tarnish from silverware, line a large pan with aluminum foil. Add water to cover the silver, plus 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon baking soda. Let the mixture rest for at least an hour. The tarnish will transfer to the aluminum foil. Rinse the silver in hot water and dry. You can also use toothpaste to polish individual pieces of silver.
Air fresheners: Locate the source of the objectionable smell and remove it, then open the window, or use an exhaust fan to clear out musty air. Simmer a small amount of cinnamon, orange peel, and cloves on the stove or in a small ceramic saucer over a candle to give your home a pleasant fragrance. Fresh cut flowers will also pleasantly scent your home. Indoor plants absorb volatile organic chemicals. An open box of baking soda will help absorb odors in the refrigerator; sprinkling baking soda in the garbage can or diaper pail will do the same.

A discussion moderated by Dean Krehmeyer, Executive Director, Business Roundtable Institute for Corporate Ethics
Visit Biographies for more about presenters
How can partnerships help business in contributing to peace and stability?
One of the often recommended approaches for fostering peace through commerce is a partnership model. Because businesses may not have the expertise or capabilities to know how best to engage in a geographic area, they team with those who can provide them with such insights.
Partnership Approaches to Advancing Business' Contribution to Peace - with NGOs and Employees
Watch the four videos and join the discussion with presenters below.
Norman Bishara, Assistant Professor of Business Law & Business Ethics, and
"Complementary Alternative Benefits to Promote Peace " (6:12)
Kimberly Eaason, Director of Strategic Relationships, TransFair USA
Virginia Haufler, Associate Professor of Government and Politics, University of Maryland
"New Institutional Models: The Kimberly Process" (6:37)
Michelle Westermann-Behaylo, Doctoral Candidate, George Washington University
"Institutionalizing Peace Through Commerce: The Partnership Dimension" (3:06)
Discussion: How can partnerships help business in contributing to peace and stability?
1. For the business partnership models presented, what are the unique strengths? Are these models replicable, and what are the hurdles to replicating?
2. Where should the discussion of business partnership models be initiated – is this primarily a management-led issue or a board/governance-led issue? Who could most make positive action happen?
3. Does the partnerships described in the presentations reduce risk? Create value? How would a newly hired MBA-graduate who has participated throughout the "Business Fights Poverty" eConference make the pitch for their company to "get on board"?

Paris Mosque
The Mosquée de Paris (Paris Mosque) is a beautiful 20th-century mosque in Paris that closely resembles those of Marrakesh.
The Paris Mosque was built in 1922 to honor the North African countries that had helped France during World War I. A major renovation was completed in 1992.
What to See
Made of reinforced concrete, the mosque was decorated with mosaics, wood carvings and wrought iron brought from Morocco. It remains an active place of worship for North Africans living in Paris, especially on Friday, the Muslim holy day, and during the holy month of Ramadan.
Visitors are welcome at the Paris Mosque and short tours are given of the building, its central courtyard, and its Moorish garden. Guides also present a brief history of the Islamic faith. In the winter, the main attraction for locals are the marble Turkish baths. Baths for men are open Tuesdays and Sundays; other days are for women only.
In the summer, students from nearby universities and tourists in the know gather for couscous and sweet mint tea at the Muslim Restaurant de la Mosquée de Paris (tel. 01-43-31-18-14). The restaurant adjoins the courtyard of the mosque and is open daily from noon to 3pm and 7 to 10:30pm.

Mexican eateries are ubiquitous in Corona, but unlike most, this sunny, family-run tortilleria painstakingly grinds corn into fresh masa for many of its dishes. This means that the tamales are delicate and fluffy, and profoundly corny tortillas envelop fillings such as fried skate in the first-rate fish tacos. The Italian tamale ($2.50) is a melting-pot marvel of steamy masa, sausage, peppers and mozzarella.

About Walnuts
More than 99% of the walnuts in U.S. are grown in the fertile soils of California's Central Valley. Internationally, California walnuts supply three-quarters of the world's walnut trade.
Here you can learn more about this truly American success story: the rich history of the 'Royal' nut; the journey from the orchard to your table; and the wealth of health benefits that have been discovered through two decades of health research.
Find out about their origins in ancient Persia, why they became known as 'English Walnuts', and how California became a center for walnut cultivation.
How Walnuts Are Grown
It's a long road from planting a walnut orchard to delivering fresh, delicious walnuts to your local market. Find out about the process from tree to table, and the strict food quality and safety standards that regulate the walnut industry.
Sustainability is important to the California Walnut Industry and the California Walnut Board has supported sustainable growing practices through its production research program for over 20 years.
Not sure whether California walnuts are gluten free? Wondering about the health benefits of walnuts? Curious about omega-3s? Here you'll find the answers to these and many more frequently asked questions.

What Does It Mean to Be a Connected Educator?
For many of us, becoming a connected educator transformed our lives. Suddenly, we had access to networks of experts and peers invested in improving education practices and willing to share their favorite tools, resources, and strategies.
It's this culture of sharing that we want to celebrate this October for Connected Educator Month.
So share with us: Tell us your stories about being a connected educator. What has it meant for you? How has it transformed student learning in your classroom? What tools and resources do you rely on most?
We'll look at the stories and ask some of you to elaborate on them in guest blog posts on Edutopia. You may also get tapped to participate in an online panel on what it means to be a connected educator.
Let the sharing begin!

Being a Connected Educator
Being a Connected Educator means having the opportunity to learn and share with hundreds even thousands of educators from around the world. My connections are facilitated by my need to better serve my students. Being connected provided me the research and tools to also be a change agent for not only my school but for the dozens of others I have worked with as a Powerful Learning Practice Connected Coach and presenter at numerous Archdiocese of Philadelphia faculty training sessions. As a teacher in a Catholic school system yearning for scalable PD I recognized what role I needed to play to change the face of education in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and beyond.
Considering myself a risk taker, when the opportunity arose in 2008 to join a PLP cohort , I jumped at the chance. Since September 2008 my philosophy of education has undergone a major overhaul. The wealth of information I have acquired through my online contacts, and yes I could say friends, is priceless. If I taught for a hundred years I would never come close to developing the teaching style that is me today. My PLN has pushed me to look at what I do and ask "is this working?" on a regular basis. Reflection has become the norm. I look forward to reflecting on my class activities because I understand and accept the fact I could always do a better job of engaging my classes in the learning activity. The minute I think I totally succeeded is when I need to think about leaving the classroom.
The #1 connection in my PLN is my wife. She has been teaching since 1975. Her ideas and style are as fresh today as she was almost 40 years ago. She helps me through the tough times. She feeds me links, posts, app reviews, along with all around good advice. Together we met and communicate with several teachers on a regular basis. Last year my wife entered into a Quad Blogging arrangement with a Technology Specialist from a Catholic school in Virginia Beach. As it turns out this teacher is the team leader for her school's team that is part of a PLP Cohort and I am her Connected Coach. Our online connection has deepened because of her joint connection with my wife and me.
Being connected has helped me create Professional Development for my faculty and others across the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Last year my principal lent me out to another school for three faculty In-Service days. A similar arrangement is in place this year with another school. As a full-time teacher with a second job at an adult education career school, I welcome the opportunity to learn and share with my peers. My web site is called "Play to Learn and Learn to Share" because that is what it's all about. Each day I learn something new and if I am lucky I get to share it with my Learning Network or Community.
I recognize I am a better teacher and teacher leader because I am connected. Because I am connected my students are given a chance to engage in a richer more robust educational experience and we all know it's all about the students.

The Teacher Across The Hall
August 20, 2013
First day of preschool. Circle time. And I go blank. Really, really blank. I run across the hall: "Laura, quick, what are the words of to the pledge?"
"The pledge. Of Allegiance."
"That thing you say when you stand in front of the flag with a hand over your heart."
"Oh that." Laura doesn't miss a beat. "I Pledge Allegiance to the flag…" and she goes through the whole thing fast but with precision. Like she's telling me which wire to cut to disable a bomb and if I don't get things right, it will blow up. She barely says "…with liberty and justice for all" when I'm out the door running back across the hall: "Got it! Thanks!"
Before the sun comes up, you check all your social media in your anti-social robe. You consider yourself late if you arrive in your classroom an hour before any child arrives. You work nonstop and grab a quick cup of coffee that will only be cold by the time you take a sip. You stay long after the last child is picked up. You make lesson plans, run to the library, scurry around the school gathering supplies like a squirrel before a snowfall, setup for tomorrow, head home to plan some more, do some research on "why-o-why little Johnny is body slamming everyone", before falling in bed exhausted. Oh yeah, that does not touch your other life of carpools, clogged sinks, laundry, family, in-laws and pet mess.
But you need more. You need that moment to stop and chat. That moment to connect with other professionals over a cup of coffee. You need to be part of a larger work. An ecosystem to feed you.
"If you are not part of someone else's ecosystem or allow others to be part of yours -YOU WILL LOSE," says Seth Demsey. (www.conferencebites.com). Although you may be the only adult in that classroom, you should not be alone. You should be able to feel and use the support of other teachers. Your success depends upon it.
That first day I was lucky enough to have a great teacher across the hall. A friend to crack me up. Someone who would keep working around me when I collapsed on her floor at the end of the day. A good trader of tabletop manipulatives and ideas.
"Hey, look what I found on the side of the road. Let's paint it."
That year I came to understand that I didn't have to become a successful teacher all on my own. My room wasn't on an island. I was successful because Laura was across the hall, and we could talk, learn and lean on each other. When I went blank on things as everyday as the Pledge, I had a safe place to point me in the right way.
So, we have decided to share our ecosystem with others. Today, you can see what they are doing in New Zealand as fast as opening your door or Skype with a pre-school teacher in Germany. We know you are crazy busy. But sit down and grab a cup of sanity with Laura and me. We'll laugh, cry and pass along things we learned the hard way so you don't have too. And only the best of what we find online. And, like I did that first day, it's okay if you go blank sometimes if you know where to go for support.
Dear Ms. Bobo, "Before the
Dear Ms. Bobo,
"Before the sun comes up, you check all your social media in your anti-social robe." Brilliant. This is just too wonderful! Thank you for making my day.
"I have never EVER felt more
"I have never EVER felt more connected!" Exactly.
Samer, Throughout my teaching
Throughout my teaching career I always made it a point to think back or reflect on my practice. After "Getting Connected" that looking back became more important to me. As I worked with my faculty members and others across the country, I started asking myself the deeper questions. I started focusing more on my students than my subject. Reflection has turn my world around.
I try to be an early adopter
I try to be an early adopter of new social media. I have a vivid memory of reading a NYTimes article about something called "MYSPACE" and then telling my middle school daughter that she should check this new thing out. A few days later she came back to me and told me that that website I sent her to really scared her. My take away lesson from that is that I need to personally be aware of what is out there so that I know what to recommend and what to guard against. So that's what I now do and its been a challenge over the last few years trying to keep up. Some of the social media I've tried I have fully embraced (Facebook, Twitter), others I could do without (Vine, Pinterest, Instagram) and some I do only because it's the only way I can keep up with kids (Snapchat & BuzzFeed).
But Twitter is definitely my new favorite. Let me show not tell on how I use it. Here are the tangible results I got from a few hours on Twitter Saturday morning:

To help you get through this holiday season seamlessly, Tom Colicchio, chef/owner of Craft Restaurants and head judge on Top Chef is sharing his tips for planning an effortless holiday meal that will knock your guests' socks off. After all, entertaining and cooking for loved ones should be fun, not feared.
* Plan ahead and prep. Colicchio advises home cooks take a page from professional chefs who live and die by their 'mise en place' - a fancy term for having all ingredients prepped and ready to go. Chop all the ingredients ahead of time - dice veggies or nuts and grate the cheese the day before. You won't even have to pick up your knife the day of your event until it's time to carve the meat, freeing up much more of your time to enjoy your friends and family.
* Simplify your menu. Holiday menus can get out of control with a dozen side dishes, but Colicchio says it's no less special if you streamline to just a few. Colicchio's recipe for stewed apricots and fennel with ricotta, pistachios and black pepper from the Bing Food & Drink app is memorable, but fairly simple and much of it can be done in advance. Best of all, you don't need to be afraid to bring the Bing Food & Drink app right into the kitchen thanks to the unique hands-free feature. Just activate hands-free mode in the app and seamlessly flip through each step of a recipe by waving your hand in front of the screen to avoid making a mess of your tablet.
* Start with the ingredients, not the recipe. Feeling inspired by seasonal ingredients or memories of holidays past tied to specific flavors? Colicchio says when it comes to ingredients, if it grows together it goes together. He recommends stopping by a farmers market and starting with fresh, seasonal ingredients, then searching by those ingredients within the Bing Food & Drink app for Windows - which houses hundreds of thousands of recipes from renowned chefs like him, plus sites like Epicurious, Food52 and others.
* Don't fear your microwave. Another tip in the spirit of mise en place is to make all of your purees, sauces and chutneys in advance, up to five days, and simply reheat the day of. Many people are hesitant to use the microwave when cooking a special meal, but a quick reheat does not lessen flavor or reduce the integrity of these types of dishes in any way. It's faster, saves a pot to clean, and you won't risk scorching it on the stovetop.
With these simple tips, your holiday meal will be the talk of the town, and best of all, you'll be stress free. Here's to a successful holiday gathering full of memories and cheer.

Major oil & gas supplier to disclose all drilling chemicals used in fracking fluids
4 hours ago
PITTSBURGH (AP) — A major supplier to the oil and gas industry says it will begin disclosing 100 percent of the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing fluid, with no exemptions for trade secrets. The move by Baker Hughes of Houston is a shift for a major firm; it's unclear if others will follow suit.
In Kentucky, Grimes' Keystone XL pipeline support shines light on battle to control Senate
4 hours ago
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Alison Grimes is the latest Democratic Senate candidate to call for building the Keystone XL oil pipeline. But the move hasn't cost her support among some environmentalists as she tries to win the seat now held by Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. Even as Grimes told The Associated Press this week that she supports building the pipeline from Canada to the Texas Gulf Coast, a San Francisco-based Super Pac, CREDO, which opposes the pipeline project, said it will spend $500,000 in Kentucky aimed at unseating McConnell.
Court filing alleges ship in Texas oil spill in March was speeding during collision

HOUSTON (AP) — The owner of a tugboat that collided with a ship last month, dumping nearly 170,000 gallons of oil into the Houston Ship Channel, claims in court filings the ship was speeding and being operated in a reckless manner. The U.S. Coast Guard, which is still investigating the cause of the accident, did not immediately return a call Thursday seeking comment on the claims being made by the companies.
Food makers worry about costs, confusion as Vermont approves labeling of GMO products
4 hours ago
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Vermont has raised the stakes in the debate over genetically modified foods by becoming the first state to pass a bill requiring that they be labeled as such in the grocery aisle, making the move despite the opposition of the powerful U.S. food industry. The national Grocery Manufacturers Association, the food industry's main trade group, said it's evaluating how to respond. Options could include a legal challenge, labeling only foods that are sold in Vermont or making a wholesale change nationwide to avoid multiple labeling systems.

Appalachian music has proven its prowess: compelling enough to be passed down from generation to generation, substantial enough to move from country to country, and versatile enough to still be evolving today.
Traditional Appalachian music pulls from a wide variety of themes, and its staying power comes from the intriguing and relatable tales that appeal deeply to emotions.
"They had murder, love, riddles," said Suzanna Holstein, a member of the West Virginia Storyteller's Guild who focuses on folk ballads. "If they're good enough, they take on a life of their own. Ballads make you wonder about what happened and why. Some are funny; everyone likes to laugh. Family-themed songs make you feel connected to the past. Some folk music talks about facing adversity and it's encouraging."
"Pretty Polly," a tale of love and courting that takes an abrupt and shocking twist, is an example of the unconventional element of Appalachian folk that Holstein said gets lost in today's more predictable pop music.
The "roots" traditional music eventually expanded into genres like bluegrass, folk and country. But at their beginning, many folk tunes were performed without instruments, meant to be simple songs for people to sing as they worked. The European songs traveled with settlers to America, and eventually were coupled with music. Common instruments for Appalachian tunes were guitars, violins (fiddles) and banjos. In the early 19th Century, the genre even inspired its own instruments, including the fretted dulcimer.
Possibly an alternative to the fiddle that was easier to produce, the dulcimer had its own unique sound and became a common accompaniment to Appalachian ballads. Here is an example of a traditional comedic Appalachian song, "The Devil and The Farmer's Wife," played on the dulcimer.
In addition to adding music, lyrical changes and vocal variations have contributed to the evolution of Appalachian music. Songs with uncertain origins in Scotland, Ireland and other European countries, as well as Africa, migrated to America and have been reinvented by popular artists, including Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Grateful Dead. Here is an example of Nirvana covering "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" (The song originated in Appalachia and was also known as "In The Pines" and "Black Girl." The original printed version as compiled by Cecil Sharp appeared in 1917. At the time, it had only four lines and lyrics which, by today's standards, might seem racist.)
Ever-evolving, Appalachian music does not always have roots in the far-distant past. Musicians are still taking the heart of the Appalachian ballad to pass on their histories today. "The Last Public Hanging in West Virginia" was penned by Tom T. Hall after he read an article about the 100th anniversary of an event in 1897 in Ripley, WV. Listen to Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs's version of the modern yet historically-inspired piece.
If you could write a modern-day folk song about your visits to Adventures on the Gorge, what would it sound like?

TROY - Residents say it's tricky to cross Hoosick Street. Cars turn quickly or speed through and some pedestrians say the lights are not long enough.
Troy city leaders are now taking action to help make pedestrians safer, prompted by an accident in March that sent a mother and child to the hospital.
There will be changes to the patterns of traffic lights to have times when only pedestrians, and no cars, can go. Crosswalks will also be made more visible.
"In addition to some changes we're going to make to the road itself, there will be an enforcement element as well as an education element, and we want everybody to participate," said Jessica Sibley, deputy director of public information for the city. "We want our neighborhood groups to come together, be a part of this, get excited about it."
At the end of March a 19-year-old woman and her 4-year-old daughter were hit and injured by a car on Hoosick Street near 10th Street. Since then, at least two other women have been hit along the same road.
Hoosick Street is a busy corridor. Some 47,000 vehicles travel the road every day.
"With that, we have residents here that cross the road at different areas and it's of the utmost importance to keep them safe and make sure that when they do cross, wherever that may be, that they can do so safely. That's our main concern," said Sibley.
Friday morning at the intersection where the mother and daughter were hit, Troy Mayor Lou Rosamilia and state Department of Transportation officials will have a news conference to talk about the new safety plan.
Officials say they're going to start implementing the changes this week.

Congress should repeal 'don't ask, don't tell'by Opinion Staff
Republican members of Congress repeatedly complain about activist judges. Sometimes judges have to act because rights are being infringed and Congress won't do anything about it. That's the case with the federal Judge Virginia Phillips' ruling that 'don't ask, don't tell' is unconstitutional and forbidding the military from investigating whether any members are gay.
Congress and the Pentagon – including Defense Secretary Robert Gates – have been dithering over don't ask, don't tell, which discriminates against gay people who want to serve their country. Although the House has voted for repeal, the Senate hasn't because Republicans there have blocked a vote.
It always is better if Congress enacts laws rather than having solutions imposed by courts. This is a particularly important issue because the United States still is heavily involved in Iraq and has just completed sending an additional 30,000 troops to the escalating war in Afghanistan.
Because it is so pressing, Congress should have dealt with this long ago. Because Congress hasn't, the judge has stepped in. That's not judicial activism, that's a judge protecting constitutional rights. And it's Congress shirking its duty.
What do you think? Was the federal judge right to ban the military from enforcing don't ask, don't tell? Take our poll.

Saints Come Up Short in Bid for Fourth Straight Tournament Title
Contact Joey Daniels, firstname.lastname@example.com
COLUMBUS, GA – North Georgia came up short in their bid for a fourth consecutive Peach Belt Conference Tournament Championship, falling to Columbus State 4-1 at Cougar Field Sunday evening.
The Saints (45-8) simply could not touch Mollie Russell, who earned Tournament MVP for her performance today. The North Georgia lineup mustered up just one hit all evening against the hurler, ending their hopes for a fourth straight title.
The loss snaps a Saints PBC tournament winning streak of 14, as well as an overall winning streak of 15 games this season.
Jessica Coan pitched well, but not quite good enough for a win, as she surrendered four runs on seven hits. She gave up a three-run home run in the third to the PBC's record-holder for home runs in a season, after Casey Googe blasted her 21st home run of the season.
The bats went cold at the wrong time for North Georgia, which has happened on occasion throughout this season. The lineup combined to go just 1-for-22 at the plate.
Despite the loss, the No. 11-ranked Saints should still hold strong at No. 1 in the NCAA Southeast Region Poll to be released next week. If that is the case, North Georgia would host an NCAA Regional on May 5-7 in Dahlonega, a definitive advantage.
The only hit of the ball game for the Saints came off the bat of Karlie Gillam, who was outstanding defensively once again at third.
Earning All-Tournament Team honors were Melissa Dickie, Hilary Cox and Tiffanie Burns. Cox and Burns led the attack offensively this weekend, while Dickie was dominating in the circle once agin.
Although the Saints did not win either championship in 2012, the future certainly looks bright. They will still have the opportunity for a fourth straight College World Series appearance, forcing the regionals to go through Dahlonega, should the rankings hold strong.
The matchup in the NCAA Regional will be released on the Sunday or Monday (April 29-30) before the regionals start. Stay tuned to SaintsSports.com for the North Georgia pairing, matchup and location.

Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library Digital Collections
s 13332 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -SENATE August 6, 1971
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I
would like to be heard, too, at that time.
However, I suggest that the request be
made first.
Mr. SCOTT. Mr. President, I will withhold
my request.
Mr. STENNIS. Mr. President, the committee
having considered and disposed
of this conference report, I ask unanimous
consent that the time for debate
be limited to 2 hours to the side, under
the proper procedures as to the control
of time, and that at the conclusion of
that time or when the time might be
yielded back, we proceed to a vote on the
adoption of the conference report.
Mr. GRAVEL. Mr. President, reserving
the right to object, and I shall object, I
would like now to permit the majority
and the minority leaders to speak. Or
does my objection stop further debate
on this?
Mr. MANSFIELD. Not at all.
Mr. GRAVEL. I reserve the right to
object, and I want to announce that I
shall object.
Mr. STENNIS. Mr. President, may I
propose in lieu of the original proposal
that if anyone has any suggestion as to
what time they think would be more
proper, I would be glad to consider it
and perhaps agree to it. I ask unanimous
consent that we have 3 hours of debate
on each side.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, reserving
the right to object, I think 1t is
rather late .in the day and late in the
first phase of this session to bring a conference
report of this magnitude before
the Senate.
I would point out that my figures are
not up to date. Unfortunately, the Defense
Department has not forwarded to
me the weekly casualty list for the past
several weeks. I am sure that it was an
oversight. However, as of July 10, less
than a month ago, 300,871 Americans
were wounded; 45,373 Americans died
in combat; 9,653 Americans died in noncombat
capacities-55,026 Americans
dead in Vietnam, in Southeast Asia;
355,897 American casualties as of July 10,
Just lately I received some lnformation
relative to the number of amputee
casualties because of the war in Southeast
In 1966, there were 88.
In 1967, there were 203.
In 1968, there were 439.
In 1969, there were 609.
In 1970, there were 312.
From January to April 1971, there
were 72.
There have been a total of 1,723
In regard to the number of servicemen
in Southeast Asia who are addicted to
drugs, I am informed by the Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Health and Environment:
We are now engaged In an enlarging testIng
program to determine the extent of drug
addiction there. Based on ava.lla.ble data,
the number of addicted servicemen appears
to be considerably fewer than 40,000. We
anticipate more a.ccurate estimates as the
detection program proceeds. The highest priority
attention Is being given to control of
drug tralfic. detection of addiction, and treatment
and rehabilitation of servicemen who
become victims of drug addiction.
It 1s high time. It is long past time.
This 1s the longest war, I believe, in
the history of this Republic. It is the
second most costly war in the history of
this Republic. This war has cost us
around $120 to $130 billion conservatively
speaking. Not only do the cities of
Southeast Asia burn, but the cities at
home also bum because of riots and poverty
and ghettos.
So, we have the casualties, 355,000
Americans, and we have the cost which
will be doubled and redoubled into the
next century. And we have the growing
drug problem. Yet a Senate amendment,
which the Senate adopted by a vote of
61 to 37, calling for a total pullout of
U.S. troops within 9 m<>nths 1f at the
same time all POW's are released and all
missing in action wherever possible are
identified or found, was vitiated in a conference
between the two Houses.
Of course the amendment 1s better
than nothing, but that is not saying much.
If we mean what we say, that our main
objective before we· will withdraw is to
bring ab<>ut the release of our prisonet s
of war, why do we not proceed on that
basis? Madame Binh, the chief Vietcong
negQtiator, Xuan Thuy, the chief North
Vietnamese negotiator, and the No.
5 man in the North Vietnamese Polit
Boro, Le Doc Tho, have made a proposition
that they will consider a withdrawal
in line with the prisoner release on a
phase basis and apart and separate from
the other five points in the seven-point
proposal advanced in Paris a little over
a month ago.
Mr. President, some poople may denigrate
the war in Vietnam and Southeast
Asia. Some poople may try to shrug off
these 350,000 American casualties. Sorr•e
people may think little of the cost in tm
area which is not, has not, and ner.er
will be vital to the security of this cl'.untry.
Oh, yes, I have read speeches prepared-
not given, but prepared-·about
how the Southeast Asia Treaty was a justification
for our going into Southeast
Asia.. And I have had my name mentioned
in reference to that fact because
along with Secretary Dulles and our late
colleague, former Senator Alexander
Smith of New Jersey; I was one of the
three U.S. signatories to that treaty. But
that treaty applied to nations primarily
outside of Indochin~the Philippines.
Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Thailand,
France, Indochina was brought in
as a corollary under the umbrella of
SEATO because at that time the Indochinese
states of Laos, Camb<>dia, and
South Vietnam were outside the perimeter
of the treaty.
But the one thing which this statement,
which was inserted in the RECORD
but which was not read, left out was thn t
before this country would go to war t
that part of the world under the tr"' ,
of that agreemen t would be .. due , '
stltutional proCf'f>fl ..... 'I 11c Senator f • •,.
Montan:1 v:;. -- lh..: nnf" l>ho insisted t: ..
tho .. ' '" rds t-r tllllucled in that trea ·
and · r'ue consti tutional processes" de ;·
not mean sign in& a Southeast Asia. Treaty:
nor does it mean approving a. Gulf o :
Tonkin resolution.
This conference report is an important
matter. For the first time, by an
overwhelming vote, the Senate expressed
its strong desire that this war be,
brought to a conclusion within 9 months,
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 47, Folder 56, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
August 6, 1971 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-SENATE s 13333
with the proviso that within that time
there would have to be a phased release
of U.S. prisoners of war to match our
phased withdrawal.
What have we got to lose? President
Nixon has had in effect for two and a
half years a policy of phased withdrawal
of American troops. He is doing that
already, and I give him full credit for
what he has done but it is not fast
Do we withdraw as slowly because we
want to give the Government of South
Vietnam "a reasonable chance to survive?"
Well, to my personal knowledge,
since 1954, for 17 years we· have been
equipping, advising, supplying, and aiding
during most of that time, paying for
the cost of equipment which the South
Vietnamese Army used. We have had our
generals there since 1954.
What do we mean when we say "a reasonable
chance?" Is 17 years not long
enough? Is an army of 1.1 million men,
equipped, trained, supplied, and advised
by us not enough? Are not 355,000 American
casualties enough? Is $130 billiononly
a third of the ultimate payment for
this involvement-not enough?
What kind of people are we? Why are
we in Southeast Asia? What for, at
what cost, and for what reason? It is
about time that Congress woke up, as the
American people have awakened, I repeat,
to the casualties, the costs, the corruption,
the drug addiction, and all the
other evils and tragedies which have
beset this country since this mistaken
war got underway.
We have paid far too much and gotten
nothing but trouble, and dimculty and
danger to ourselves.
Yes, we can burn cities in South Vietnam,
and in the delta, cities like Ben
Tre. We can "destroy" those cities to
"save" them. Our own cities are burning
in a different way, but burning just as
fiercely. Our own people are divided, not
because of race primarily, but because
of Vietnam and all it entails. Many of our
own people are going hungry and our
prestige has fallen in every continent of
the world.
I am not interested in face, personally,
although I have my share of pride. I am
not interested in prestige. I am interested
in people, and the people I am
most interested in are my own people in
the United States of America. The country
I am most interested in is my own
country, the United States of America.
We have a lot to talk about and every
Senator has a tremendous responsibility
in this situation, just as the President
has, but this is not a case of adversary
proceedings; it is a case of paying the
piper for the mistakes which we have
made for far more than a decade. It
is time for us in this body, in this Congress,
and in this country to face up to
our responsibilities regardless of the coot,
and to act a.ocordingly. ·
I think it would be better, therefore,
instead of trying to get a time limitation
for tonight or tomorrow, which in
my opinion would be impossible to
achieve, if we agree here and now to
make this conference report the pending
business on Monday, September 13, and
at that time debate it, thrash out our
differences, and see what our decision
will be.
Mr. SCOT!'. Mr. President, I believe
the Senator from Alaska reserved the
right to object.
If I may yield 5 minutes on this side,
I may say it would not be ditlicult to find
fault with the sorry record of a war
which has been going on entirely too
long with its many tragic consequences.
I think perhaps the point of variance
here might be the difference on the assumption
of our much beloved friend, the
distinguished majority leader, that because
the enemy have indicated they will
sever some of these points from the point
of withdrawing and the return of the
POW's, there is at the same time no evidence
that the enemy actually will do
what he says. There is vast differenc0,
as we have found out in 17 years between
whlllt the enemy will do and what
the enemy says he will do.
The President was asked about this
point at the press conference and his
reply was that he understands-
There has been some crltlclsm In the Senate
and the House that the adminlstratlon
is not interested in negotiating a settlement,
that we are not considering the various proposals
that have been made by the VC and
North VIetnam.
He goes on to say, on the contrary in
denying that:
We are very actively pursu1ng negotiations
on VIetnam in establlshed channela. The
Record, when It finally comes out, will answer
all critics, as far as the activity of thla
government In pursuing negotiations in establlahed
channels. It wou1d not be useful
to negotiate in the newspapers ...
Certainly, we want to get at it. Certainly
we want our prisoners of war
back, and certainly even during the recess
there may be developments. I know
of none, but there may be developments
with regard to these questions, including
prisoners of war. We hope so. Negotiations
are being pursued and negotiations
are being pursued hard and continuously
and all the time. Therefore, what the
distinguished majority leader and I both
want, and that is to accomplish release
for the prisoners and to find a way to get
out of the war as soon as possible, could
be achieved, I think, without impeding
the adoption of a major issue which this
Congress has supported under previous
Presidents and should not deny, in my
opinion, to this administration.
It seems to me it also should not put
itself in the position where the effect of
the draft law, that part of it remaining
on the books, operates to discriminate
against those who have received deferments
and acted abundantly in good
faith and who now may be subject to a
callup because the lawful normal, regular
operation of the law in accordance with
the lottery principle has been delayed in
this body, the Senate.
I think it is unfortunare that we have
to go into a recess period. Of course, if
we do, I would hope that we could come
to a time agreement when we come back
and take it up again on the 13th of
September. I think it is unfortunate,
and I point out that it is in no way
the fault of the administration, that the
draft bill is no longer the law, and it is
not the fault of the administration that
we got into the situation we did with regard
to the draft bill.
We would like to see it disposed of. We
stand ready to see that it is disposed of.
The Armed Services Committee, for the
most part, is ready to dispose of it.
I well understand the impassioned
feelings of the distinguished majority
leader, I share them, but I do not see how
the return of the prisoners of war is affected
by failure to enact the draft bill.
I understand the language of the proposed
compromise would have the effect
of drawing from the administration some
indication tha t, following the release of
the prisoners of war, it would only be a
matter of a relatively short time before
the withdrawal of American forces could
be effected. But the administration is
doing 1ts level best to remove prisoners of
war, who were not taken prisoner under
this administration for the most part;
and it ought not to be impeded, it seems
to me, by a requirement by the Congress
that our negotiations for the removal of
the prisoners of war be turned over to
the Congress by virtue of the enactment
of a clause in the draft bill.
So I would hope that we would go
through with the draft bill. I regret any
objections being made. I would very
much prefer that we act on it now, but if
we do not, it seems to me it would be
very useful if the majority leader and
I could manage to secure an agreement
on time when we come back. Otherwise,
it may be that we will be debating this
bill from September 13 for the rest of
the year, which is something that I do
not look forward to.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, will
the Senator yield?
Mr. SCOT!'. Yes; I am glad to yield.
Mr. MANSFIJ!:LD. Mr. President, I appreciate
the temperate tone of th~ distinguished
minority leader. I know that
every MeQlber of this body, regardless of
how we vote. feels as we do about the ternble
cost of life in this tragedy in S"outh
V1etnam and Southeast Asia.
I agree with him that it is not the fault
of the administration, but I would say it
is the responsibility of the Senate and
the House--the Congress-that we have
a voice, under the Constitution; that we
should recognize our responsibilities; and
that we should act accordingly.
No one is denigrating the President,
because, stl"ange as it might seem, the
desire on the part of Congress-and that
desire has been evidenced since January
20, 1969-is to help the President. For
some reason or other, there are people in
the bureaucracy downtown who have the
idea that because we belong to Congress,
we are natural adversaries of whoever
happens to be President. They think that
if the Republicans are in power, we Democrats
are against them.
I think I can say without fear of contradiction
that this Democrat-controlled
Senate, the Democrats in this body, have
offered to this President every possible
cooperation in the field of foreign policy.
As far as the Senator from Montana is
concerned, that -cooperation is going to
be offered again and again and ·again,
because the least important thing in our
lives as politicians is whether or not one
party or the other wins, whether or not
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 47, Folder 56, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
s 13334 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-SENATE
members of one party or the other are
elected or defeated. For a little while
we think it is important, but the thing
that counts is the welfare of the Nation
as a whole. This Republic is facing the
most dangerous period in its history, and
the times do not call for adversary proceedings.
The times call for cooperation
and accommodation, as we have in this
body between the two leaders and between
the two parties, and as we would
like to do in relation to the administration
downtown. We want to work together
because, while it may be hard
to believe because a politician says it, we
all are agreed, in my opinion, that the
welfare of the Nation comes ahead of the
success of either party or any individual

Commission awaits reply on ambulance pact10:00 am | January 22, 2013
When they last met, the County Commission offered the Carter County Rescue Squad a one-year contract to serve as the county's sole ambulance provider.
More than two months have passed, and the only response the county has received has been … silence.
As it stands, the Rescue Squad's contract with the county will come to an end June 30. Although officials from both the squad and the county said they felt a deal would be reached before then, Commission Chairman Tom Bowers said he was surprised by the squad's lack of communication with the county.
"Everybody I've talked to on the commission can't figure out why we haven't heard from them," Bowers said, "I don't know what their hang-up is, or what they're having trouble coming to grips with."
Rescue Squad Director Terry Arnold said that he thought his board of directors still had issues with the specifics of the county's proposal.
"County is wanting all this stuff for free, and it's just impossible," Arnold said. "That's probably why we're not on the agenda."
